The COI said that a post-season ban and scholarship reductions were warranted, per the rules, but then walked it back... because, it's scUM and they have a big fan base. lmfao.

This is pure factual evidence of JUST. HOW. MUCH. better THE Ohio State Buckeyes are than literally ANYONE else.

I read an article, in The Athletic, I think, where the Tatgate shit was mentioned, and the writer said that the entire rest of CFB was like, "Fuck yeah! We finally got them!"

Except they didn't. Yeah, Tressel was ousted, and the NCAA did some bullshit by banning the 2012 team from the post-season after the fact.

But Urban won a natty. and then Day won a natty.

I challenge anyone to name three consecutive head coaches to win a natty at ANY other school.

They can't stop THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES.

I’m not either. My take is what is the point of the NCAA? if they refuse to police the schools based on the stated governance, then why does the organization exist? What is the benefit to the members, if they don’t enforce the rules and maintain the integrity of the game?

That’s what this about to me, the integrity of the game. There is none and no one to maintain it at this juncture.

Not to disagree, but it looks like the NCAA did their job. It’s TV money that cancelled the execution.

This is what pisses me off about last year.
We were a national championship contender. I mean, yeah, we won the whole damn thing, but in November we were just contenders. And we lost to that team? I'm not sure they weren't cheating for this game.
Which brings me to another point. I know it seems I'm getting off topic, but I'll bring it back, I promise:
So I saw a show a million years ago about counterfeiting money. Some nerd figured out how to fake everything and he printed up a bunch of 20-dollar bills. And he used them at a bunch of places, buying little things that were $2 and getting the $18 in change. Eventually, some gas station clerk tested the bill and found out it was counterfeit and called the police and he was caught a little ways down the road. But they said the problem isn't that he got $100 in change for the 5 or 6 bills he used - it's that all the businesses lose a little bit of confidence in the money they're accepting from customers. The power of the currency is in that people believe it is worth something. When people start to think it isn't worth anything, then it starts to not be worth anything.
So, when we start to doubt that everyone is playing on the level, the wins don't mean as much. The game doesn't mean as much. And if the game doesn't mean much, then the NCAA isn't doing their job.

I think this speaks to some of the initial reactions we saw from BP. I’m not sure how I feel, certainly a bit of this. I’m more disappointed in the loss of the integrity of the rivalry. Maybe not integrity regarding fairness of play, but more so the integrity regarding one side completely dismissing the sportsmanship and respect aspect of it. There was a day you hated the other guy but ultimately had respect for them. Now? Just hate.

With the state of the OL and Howard, the only thing that still bothers me about that game is Brown not getting a chance. Not too far into the 2nd half it should’ve been obvious that Brown needed a series to either clear Howard’s head or replace him. Do I think it changes the outcome? Probably not, but the risk of him making a mistake wasn’t any higher than Howard and he had a much better shot at hitting JJ deep. Has to be one of the most egregious errors Day has made on game day.
